In the afternoon, rumbling noises continued to be heard from the back mountain of the Du Residence. It only stopped when night fell.
The back mountain of the Du family was continuous, and usually no one would go to the depths of the back mountain. Therefore, Du Shaofu was at ease to practice his Body Transformation Technique in the back mountain. Besides, there was also the King Scaled Demon Tiger. Once someone approached, they would be immediately discovered.
After nightfall, Du Shaofu continued to sit cross-legged in the back mountain and practiced.
Night shrouded the Stone City. In a group of magnificent buildings not inferior to the Du family, in the depths of a courtyard, several figures were standing in a room. Among them was a pale and ashen-faced teenager. He was the one who was taught a lesson by Du Shaofu during the day, Chi Hu.
"Chi Hu was defeated in two moves. After enduring for ten years, it seems that this time the Du family has a strong opponent." A young man who looked somewhat similar to Chi Hu but was one or two years older than him opened his mouth and said softly with a faint smile on his face.
"Big brother, you must avenge me." Chi Hu's face was full of grievance and anger. He would never let Du Shaofu go.
Chi Long looked at Chi Hu and sighed, "Second brother, next time stay away from Ye Zijin. She is not suitable for you."
"Big brother, what do you mean? Not suitable for me? Are you saying that she is suitable for you?" Chi Hu looked at Chi Long with displeasure.
"Second brother, your injuries today are proof that Ye Zijin is not someone you can subdue."
Chi Long's expression did not change much. The corners of his mouth curved slightly. Looking at the empty moonlight outside, he said softly, "That woman is not simple. This is a test."
"What test?" Chi Hu asked doubtfully.
"Nothing. You just stay at home and heal." Chi Long said.
"Then what about Du Shaofu? Are we just going to let him go? Is our Chi family afraid of him?"
Chi Hu said angrily. He absolutely could not let Du Shaofu go. He said to a burly middle-aged man behind Chi Long, "Father, say something. Am I going to be beaten up for nothing?"
The tall and sturdy middle-aged man was none other than the current patriarch of the Ran Clan, Ran Qingsong. He looked at Ran Chuo and asked, "Long 'er, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Zhuo Long said, "Father, that Du Shaofu seems to be a few years younger than second brother. If we go to the Du family, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our Zhuo family's reputation. If word gets out, it's inevitable that people will say that our Zhuo family can't beat the Du family and that we're going to look for trouble after losing."
"So you're saying that we should just let it go?" Yun Qingsong's expression didn't change much.
"No..." Zhuo Long smiled faintly. "We're going to the Du family, and we're going to the Du family in a lively manner. We have to put on a show, lest some people pay special attention to our Zhuo family. Besides, I also want to meet Du Shaofu. I want to know what kind of person he is, to be able to endure for ten years."
"Good. Let's go to the Du Family and teach that Du Shaofu a lesson." Ma Yinghu sneered.
"Hu 'er, go and treat your injuries. You're not allowed to leave the house for half a year!" Yun Qingsong looked at Ma Yinghu and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, father." Ma Yinghu didn't dare to say anything else. He seemed to be extremely afraid of his father and could only resentfully drag his heavily injured body away.
"Sigh..."
Gazing at Ma Yinghu's back, Yun Qingsong sighed softly and said, "Disappointing, disappointing. He was used by someone and he didn't even know it."
Zhuo Long smiled at Yun Qingsong and said, "Father, second brother is still immature. Besides, that girl Ye Zijin is indeed not ordinary. Second brother did not suffer unjustly this time. It will be beneficial for him in the future."
Yun Qingsong's gaze fell on Zhuo Long and said, "If you can subdue that girl, things will be much simpler in the future."
"I will do my best." Zhuo Long smiled.
"Some things should be over soon. Shi City has been peaceful for too long." Yun Qingsong said.
Gazing at the moonlight outside the door, Zhuo Long softly muttered, "A storm is brewing. The sky is about to change. Isn't the Ye family already unable to endure it?"
The next morning, the faint golden light around Du Shaofu's body receded. He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and stopped his breathing and cultivation.
"The Golden Roc's body refinement method is truly mysterious. Its cultivation method is also extremely powerful."
Feeling the profound energy in his body becoming more and more abundant and his body becoming more and more powerful, Du Shaofu's face revealed a smile. After tidying up, he left the back of the mountain.
"Young master Shaofu, it's not good. Many people from the Ma family have come looking for you aggressively. The patriarch wants you to go over."
Just as Du Shaofu returned to the backyard, the new steward of the backyard hurriedly ran over, panting and looking nervous.
"The Ma family." Du Shaofu's expression was extremely calm. He said, "You can leave first. I will be there in a moment."
The King Scaled Demonic Tiger rubbed against Du Shaofu's robe. When it heard that there were people looking for trouble, it seemed to want to go as well to Du Shaofu.
"You don't have to join in the fun." Du Shaofu said to the King Scaled Demonic Tiger.
"Roar roar."
The King Scaled Demonic Tiger let out two deep roars. It seemed to be protesting against Du Shaofu for looking down on it.
Unfortunately, Du Shaofu ignored the King Scaled Demonic Tiger. He turned and entered the courtyard, not immediately going to the front hall.
After Du Shaofu took a bath and tidied up his clothes, he went to the front hall and saw the Si Clan's people. There were quite a few of them and all of them were very aggressive. Their auras were also not weak. Each and every one of them was red in the face and ears. It seemed like they had some dispute with the Du Clan's people.
"Greetings, First Uncle and Second Uncle."
Du Shaofu went forward and bowed to Du Zhenwu and Du Zhixiong. His eyes swept across the Ma family and paid more attention to a burly middle-aged man and a thin young man sitting at the head of the table.
"Shaofu, sit down first. Someone said that you injured Ma Hu yesterday. Is this true?" Du Zhenwu gestured for Du Shaofu to sit down and asked.
Du Shaofu nodded and sat next to Second Uncle Du Zhixiong. He nodded and said, "Yesterday, I taught a lesson to someone called Ma Hu. That person scolded me, so I beat him up."
"Du Zhenwu, you heard it right? This is the person who injured my son. You have to give me an explanation today." Ma Qingsong angrily glared at Du Zhenwu with an unrelenting expression.
"Ma Qingsong, you heard it too. Who told your son to scold my nephew? He deserved to be beaten up." Du Zhixiong stepped forward bravely and glared at Ma Qingsong. "My son can't beat him, so I'll step in. Your Ma family is really protective of their children."
"Du Zhixiong, what do you mean?" A Ma family elder gloomily glared at Du Zhixiong and shouted.
"I mean what I said. If you don't accept it, then the Ma family can start a war with my Du family." Du Zhixiong slammed the table and stood up. His Xuan Qi surged and he didn't hold back at all. His nephew naturally couldn't be bullied.
"Let's start a war then. My Ma family isn't afraid." Many experts of the Ma family said angrily.
"Let's start a war then. How dare you bully us at our door? Do you think my Du family is easy to bully?!"
The experts of the Du family in the hall were also furious. They didn't back down in the face of the Ma family. The reason why the Du family could rise in Stone City in such a short period of time was because of the unity of all the clansmen. They didn't hesitate in the face of external enemies.
Du Shaofu looked at his second uncle, who slammed the table and stood up, and his heart was once again filled with warmth. As for the experts of the Du family, many of them were against him yesterday, but today, they were united in the face of external enemies. This made Du Shaofu's expression change slightly. Finally, his gaze fell on the people of the Ma family.
Ma Qingsong glared at Du Zhenwu and said, "Du Zhenwu, does your Du family not want to give me an explanation today?"
"Explanation? Your Ma family came to my Du family in such an aggressive manner. This is clearly not putting my Du family in your eyes. If your Ma family wants to find an excuse to start a war, my Du family will accompany you." Du Zhenwu sat upright and shook his long sleeve, not backing down an inch.
"Good, good Du family. Let's wait and see." Ma Qingsong slammed the table and stood up. He said to the people of the Ma family behind him, "Let's go."
"I won't see you out." Du Zhenwu leaned against the back of the chair without any trace of politeness.
"I'm Ma Hu's brother, called Ma Long. You're Du Shaofu?" Ma Long stood up and stood in front of Du Shaofu. In the noisy hall, everyone's gaze fell on Ma Long and Du Shaofu.
"What's wrong? Your brother can't win, so you want to fight as a family?" Du Shaofu raised his eyes and looked at Ma Long.
Ma Long smiled at Du Shaofu and said, "I heard that you've been an idiot for ten years. It seems that the rumors aren't reliable. My second brother is disappointing. If he loses, then so be it. It's good that he's been taught a lesson. There's still plenty of time in the future, don't you think so?" Ma Long's words implied that he was secretly calling Du Shaofu an idiot.
"Indeed, rumors stop with the wise."
Du Shaofu's gaze was indifferent, but his words were sharp. Everyone naturally understood that Du Shaofu's words meant that whoever believed that he was an idiot was an idiot. Smart people naturally wouldn't believe it.
Ma Long looked at Du Shaofu and his expression changed slightly. He smiled and said, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Ye Zijin of the Ye family?"
"But it seems that Ma Hu and Miss Ye have a better relationship. Don't you know that as his brother?" Du Shaofu said softly.
"Haha." Ma Long smiled and looked at Du Shaofu. He said, "It won't be long before the Wu family of Stone City holds a grand meeting. The younger generation will all participate. I hope to see you at that time."
"I won't necessarily go." Du Shaofu said.
"Goodbye." Ma Long smiled and turned to leave. The group of Ma family members also turned and left with hatred.
"This Ma family is really shameless." Watching the Ma family members leave, the Du family experts in the hall cursed.
"Shaofu, come with me to the study."
Du Zhenwu stood up and looked at Du Shaofu. His expression didn't change much, and then he turned and entered the inner hall.
"Go, don't worry about the Ma family. Our Du family is not afraid of them."
Du Zhixiong patted Du Shaofu's shoulder and said with a smile, "I heard that you defeated the Xiantian stage Ma Hu in two moves. You've brought glory to our Du family. Good job."
"Second uncle, I don't have that kind of strength. It was Ma Hu who wanted to frame me and made me fall."
Du Shaofu wouldn't admit it. Yesterday, he had said in front of the Du family that he couldn't defeat Du Hao's Xiantian stage cousin. So he couldn't admit it no matter what. After saying this, he hurriedly followed his uncle into the inner hall.
